Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

xrandr allows you to rotate the screen resolution, thus supporting diagonal setups. Some guy claims this is ideal for his software dev setup, with the IDE taking up most of the space, while smaller windows reside in the open corner.

That's kinda neat, and I can see the theoretical argument for diagonal screens. But I don't see it catching on beyond a handful of nerds who insist it's the optimal setup. Looks kinda funky and the extra smaller windows placed near the corners have non-constant width which seems like a real pain when scrolling through docs or whatever.
